A New Addition

Late last night my darling older sister brought another handsome man into the world (hooray for the little ladies being born right now!).  I am so happy for their amazing family.  Obviously I am now searching high and low for something unique to do for the little man and immediately my brain went to monograms & logos (surprised?).

Tell me this isn't just adorable - oh the parties you could plan.


Then I came across this picture and was completely side tracked from the monogram mission. Um...this is pretty cute. This guy is totally too cool for school at age like 3 weeks (or maybe 3 months? I have no idea when it comes to babies).  That hat needs to make it to my sister's house ASAP just so I can laugh at the pictures.

And then I died & was sidetracked again when I took a visit to good ol' Ralph Lauren and came across this (apparently it's for infants - but I'm not so sure):

And then this happened - when you combine gingham and a monogram, you have my heart:



What do you think? If you are a new mother, what did you want from your sister or friend? I admittedly know nothing about what are the "it" things to buy a little guy - so if you have the inside baby scoop, please share! I am an Aunt that needs to spoil!

I know nothing about babies either - but I DO know you can't go wrong with anything Ralph Lauren. And that hat is so adorable. Congrats, Aunt Abby!

Mmmm. It's so easy to spoil them. I kind of like the idea of a special book myself - something you can write a personal message in and they can keep forever. Like a classic story book perhaps?

I'm with you, monograms or personalization is where it's at. (Close in line is handmade...handknit!)I loved getting (I have two little girls) this kind of thing and love getting it, too. I'm a huge Etsy fan and one of my recent favorite personalized baby things is this...http://mainelyhome.blogspot.com/2010/06/etsy-love-sustainable-and-personalized.html
